Conditions of Sale

Your contract for the purchase of tickets is formed as soon as we have processed your payment and will expire immediately after the performance of the event for which you have purchased tickets.

All tickets, prices, concessions and discounts are subject availability and can be changed and/or withdrawn at any time, without prior notice.

The number and type of tickets available in each price band is limited and can vary.

Concessions and discounts (other than member discounts) are not available for preview performances.

Only one concession or discount can be applied per ticket purchased and cannot be applied retrospectively.

If you have purchased concession seating, proof of concession (for example of age or student status) may be required and must be presented upon request. Registered Unemployment discount is applicable to anyone who receives Jobseekers Allowance or Income Support subject to presentation of proof of eligibility.

Any access requirements must be made known to Box Office staff on booking. This includes, but is not limited to, seats being removed to enable the customer to remain in their wheelchair, wheelchair storage following a transfer, storage of Motability scooters, specific seating (i.e. close to the stage, avoidance of steps, on an aisle).

When tickets are collected at the Box Office, the cardholder may need to present the card that the tickets were booked on as identification (plus a copy of the email booking confirmation for bookings made online). You may also be required to present your photo ID for discounted tickets.

From Fri 16 Nov 2018, a £1 postage fee is applicable to all tickets delivered by post, excluding those purchased by Members, Supporters or Friends.

Tickets will only be delivered to the billing address of the debit/credit card holder. If tickets dispatched by post are returned to us as ‘addressee unknown’ we reserve the right to cancel your booking and make a refund of the ticket price only. Where there is not enough time to deliver tickets by post, we will inform you about the arrangements for collection of your tickets from the Box Office.

One free ticket is available for carers of customers requiring access assistance, subject to availability. You may only obtain this ticket by joining Curve’s Access Register Scheme. Your details will be reviewed on the end date detailed on your stipulated documentation, for example if you claim PIP until December 2025, we would not review the details until that date.

Tickets are not refundable except in the case of a cancelled or rescheduled performance . Changes to the cast for a performance (including any star casting) will not entitle you to a refund.

Refunds will only be made to the credit or debit card with which the ticket(s) were purchased. Where this is not possible or if the ticket(s) were not originally paid for by card, a refund cheque in pounds sterling will be issued.

Where a performance is cancelled or re-scheduled, we will use our reasonable endeavours to notify you using the details you have provided us with at the time of booking. We cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred by you for travel, accommodation or any other related service as a result of a cancelled performance.

We offer a ticket exchange facility, subject to availability. In order to obtain a ticket exchange you must contact the Box Office up to one week prior to the performance date. Exchanges are absolutely at our discretion. Tickets can only be exchanged for a seat of the same value (or higher upon payment of the difference in value by you) for later performances of the same production and are subject to an administration fee of £1.

Tickets are exempt from statutory cancellation rights. This means that you are not entitled to cancel your tickets after purchase.
